You would need to check with your university and see what outside credits accept if any.

Depending on the degree and the school, it might be possible to transfer in some credits from XAMK or some other Finnish university.

Because UK degrees are usually made up of very specific courses, it's a lot more difficult than for US degrees.  One exception (there may be others of course) is an Open University Open degree which you can make up with different subjects as you go along.  If you take that you could supplement with XAMK, subject to verification from the OU.
Of course you could use your UK credits and apply them to a US degree program.  If you have A levels, you can also get US college credit for those. In a lot of cases it's cheaper and faster for you, to take one of the degrees from the Big 3/4 than getting a UK degree.

So i was asking for a friend in the UK doing a Civil engineering degree down there.. but im not sure if a US degrees are seen as equal to UK degrees down there so thats why I believe it may be better for him to obtain a UK accredited degree, but thanks!
